A shelter dog could barely contain his excitement at being let out of his kennel, even though it was only to go for a short walk.

Brutus the shelter dog captured attention online after a clip of him appearing “so grateful” at being let out to stretch his legs was posted to Instagram. The footage was captured by Merve Gurses, a volunteer at Fulton County Animal Services in Georgia, who created the account From Pits to Peaches to highlight the plight of dogs like Brutus.

“In the shelter he always seemed so grateful when he was around people but he was struggling quite a bit being in the kennel. You could see kennel stress was starting to get to him,” Gurses told Newsweek . “Once he saw someone’s leash come out, everything changed and he turned into his wiggly self.”
